Energy is that which moves, and is the substance from which everything is made [Heisenberg]
|
|
17541
|
Energy is an unchanging substance, having many forms, and causing all change [Heisenberg]
|

|
|
21731
|
Fields can be 'scalar', or 'vector', or 'tensor', or 'spinor' [Baggott]
|
|

|
Free electrons have clouds of virtual particles, arising from field interaction [Baggott]
|
27. Natural Reality / B. Modern Physics / 2. Electrodynamics / d. Quantum mechanics

17532
|
An atom's stability after collisions needs explaining (which Newton's mechanics can't do) [Heisenberg]
|
|
17537

Position is complementary to velocity or momentum, so the whole system is indeterminate [Heisenberg]
|
|
17551
|
It was formerly assumed that electromagnetic waves could not be a reality in themselves [Heisenberg]
|
|
24161
|
Thermodynamics sees nature as a continuous flow of energy, as radiation and as substance [Baggott]
